Extract

Elliott Carter's quotable 80s slur – ‘about one minute of minimalism is a lot, because it is all the same’ – was happily not applicable at this year's GAIDA festival in Vilnius. The 2017 programme of the biggest contemporary music festival in the Baltic States displayed many diverse faces of repetitive music and more besides, with a particular focus on eclectic post-minimalist David Lang (who pointedly denounced -isms and post-s in his programmed talk).
